Lily Allen was the co-host of the GQ Man of the Year awards in London last night, and there’s no need to ask if she was awesome, because of course she was. The Times of London says…
Young pop singer Lily Allen received a very public dressing down from industry veteran Sir Elton John last night as the pair hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards.In front of an audience comprising the crème of the entertainment world, the 23-year-old chart-topper sipped champagne on stage until she began slurring and swearing.When Allen told the audience at London's Royal Opera House "now we reach a very special point in the evening", Sir Elton replied: "What, you are going to have another drink?"Allen, dressed demurely in a full-length ball gown, responded: "Fuck off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you, I have my whole life ahead of me."The 61-year-old superstar, watched by audience members including Gordon Ramsay, Thandie Newton and Elle MacPherson, then told her: “I could still snort you under the table.”
Okay so it definitely seems like Elton got the best of that exchange, but keep in mind that Lily was drunk, and thinking up clever comebacks is hard like that. She’s a dynamite lady.
